Straight swap for Toumpas.

It's meh, but I'll probably take it.

Left footer and speed at least gives us something different.

Still torching it at VFL level just can't adapt to AFL yet (and maybe never).

which one you talking about lol

    Think he can. Just needs an extended run.

    His best season was his debut year where he got to play 12 games. He's been in & out of tbe side a lot the last two yearsand sub a lot, so would like to think at Melbourne he could get an extended run on a wing.

    Nothing of this will matter ultimately. .swapping deckchairs in the sub 30 dept.

    those kicks looked further than 35 mtrs

    He reminds me of Nath Hrovat.

    Im sure he is going to offer much more than toumpus, toumpus is a good kid but just might not work out.

    Same height, different types though. Kennedy has more speed, Hrovat better in close, more composed with ball in hand. More Sam Mitchell in the way Hrovat plays, if Kennedy hits his potential, more a Boomer Harvey type.

    If a young Melbourne player played a game like that he'd be considered an absolute star on here.

    Better AFL game than i've ever seen toumpas play

    This was a VFL game he played earlier in the year:

    http://www.collingwoodfc.com.au/video/2014-08-05/vfl-ben-kennedy

    The stat line read: 38 disposals, 9 clearances, 7 inside 50's, 3 tackles (and a goal judging by the video).

    In other news, Toumpas fails to get a sniff at VFL level.

    Let's hope Toumpas' reputation in being a prior Pick 4 gets the deal over the line.

    No doubting the depth of collingwood's midfield as well, its a difficult side to get into for a guy like him, they do have one of the best young midfields in the league. If a pick number 10 isn't getting a game on their list and moving, then i can see why kennedy would want to move on as well.

    I'm all for it. It's a bit similar to the Melksham case in my opinion. We're not necessarily recruiting players that can slide straight into our best 22 but instead depth players with more upside than your everyday Rohan Bail.

    Kennedy would be handy backup in case Kent were to go down again.

    Nah. He had some very good sniffs, especially earlier in the year.

    You make an excellent point. Having said that, i can see Kennedy slotting straight into a wing for us.

    Howe to the filth for Kennedy & their 3rd round pick?

    Also worth noting that Kennedy was recruited at the filth the last year Jason Taylor was there. So if we are looking at him, it's fair to say Taylor should know what he's capable of.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
